Scrollbar problem

[reggler]

Hi,

I'm a TCL beginner and I have problems adding scroll bars to a listbox. So I have tried to make a small example script to put two scrollbars on a text box like this:
[tt]scrollbar .yscroll -command {.two.text yview} -orient vertical
scrollbar .xscroll -command {.two.text xview} -orient horizontal
text .two.text -yscrollcommand {.yscroll set}\
-xscrollcommand {.xscroll set}
pack .two.text -side top[/tt]

Why does this not give me scrollbars to scroll the text box???

Thank you for any help or assistance!

Hi

You have to [tt]pack[/tt] all the widgets you want to appear. And there is not [tt]pack[/tt] call for .xscroll and .yscroll .

Well yes, actually I got the scrollbar displayed in my list box now but at the wrong position.
I got this now:
[tt]
listbox .operatorWindow.operatorList \
-background white -font {arial 11 normal} \
-selectmode browse -listvariable finaltest:peratorList \
-yscrollcommand {.operatorWindow.yscroll set}
scrollbar .operatorWindow.yscroll -command {.operatorWindow.operatorList yview} -orient vertical
[/tt]

and then:

[tt]
place .operatorWindow.operatorList \
-x 31 -y 90 -width 150 -height 146 -anchor nw -bordermode ignore
grid .operatorWindow.yscroll -in .operatorWindow.operatorList -column 2 -sticky NS
[/tt]

shouldn't this make it be aligned on the right side of the listbox along the whole height?
instead it shows up in the centre of the listbox

I always get screwy results when I mix geometry managers (as you are doing with place and grid). Also I get better results with pack.

pack .operatorWindow.operatorList -side left
pack .operatorWindow.yscroll -side right -fill y
